At Yuba Sutter Marketplace, we’ve developed an internal sustainability roadmap that guides how we approach new projects and manage our existing property day to day. Our commitment is reflected in our actions, which include:

• Solar panels have been installed across the majority of available roof space, providing renewable energy that is used in common areas and by tenants throughout the mall. The solar program avoids the equivalent of 2,200,000 lbs of coal a year and creates a carbon sequestration benefit equivalent to 33,000 newly planted trees.
• Use of food court chairs made from recycled plastic bottles. Approximately 111 plastic Coke bottles were used per chair, for a total of 8,315 plastic bottle recycled.
• Live trees line the center common area and act as natural air purifiers within Yuba Sutter Marketplace.
• The installation of ceiling skylights, an energy management system for the HVAC units, and a reflective “Cool Roof” that dissipates heat, all of which help reduce electrical consumption, conserving natural resources, and help to preserve the environment.
• All interior public common areas and service areas have been retrofitted with state-of the art energy efficient lighting solutions.
• Yuba Sutter Marketplace does not use a central heating system; instead, heat is generated from store fixtures, lighting, skylights and body heat.
